SIDECAR ADVENTURE TOURING  MONGOLIA

Once you land we will create a group chat with all riders in there. Should you need anything in specific while you are in the city our logistics manager will take care of it right away (club reservations, restaurant recommendations etc.).

The easiest way to get a Mongolian visa is through the government’s new website www.evisa.mn. It also lists all the countries which are visa exempt, the list is constantly growing. Germany, USA, Australia for example do not need a visa to enter for a duration of up to 30 days. You should apply for your visa no later than 30 days prior to departure.

If you are coming from Europe, the most convenient connections would be by using Turkish Airlines through Istanbul or Mongolian Airlines (MIAT) through Germany and the UK. Mongolia is currently in the process of negotiating direct flights from the US, we will announce as soon as there are news. Alternatively for Asia and Australia, there are connections through South Korea and Hong Kong.

Yes, we can easily arrange extra hotels nights for you before and after the tour if needed.

Of course, just make sure you send us your flight details in advance and our driver will pick you up accordingly. That also goes for departure flights.

Each time of the year has its own beauty. During April and the beginning of May weather is still colder during the mornings, but it is a VERY rewarding time of the year to come. The official tourism season has not started, hence you will barely see anyone out there in Mongolia’s endless countryside. Prime time: June, July and August are the warmer summer months, with up to 30C degrees during the day and are the best time if you prefer mild bon-fire nights during the evenings coupled with lake swimming etc.

Yes, you will have access to electricity during most of the evenings at ger camps. We also carry a generator with us for nights in the open wild. A small power bank can be helpful though to be less dependent.

Yes, most of the time you will have coverage. Mongolia has improved its telecommunication network in the countryside a lot over the past years. On average about 60-70% of the tour you will be reachable and have access to internet. When we camp in the open wild you will however most likely not have coverage during that night.

Yes, we will actually provide you with a local SIM card upon arrival, free of charge.

Yes, you can bring a drone to Mongolia without any issues. Given Mongolia’s vast and diverse landscapes drone shots always look stunning. We recommend bringing one if you know how to fly them.

Yes, we should normally always have enough space in support vehicles for extra camera equipment if needed. If you are talking about any larger items, please get in touch with us in advance.

No problem, please inform us accordingly during the booking process. Every tour is accompanied by our own chef, he will make sure everything is up to your preferences.

Unfortunately we do not rent or sell safety gear and riding outfit, so you will have to bring your own.

Yes, international credit cards are widely accepted while in Ulaanbaatar. You might face difficulties in the countryside though.

Yes, you can easily take out Mongolian Tugrik (MNT) at most of the city’s ATM’s.

We do provide all needed camping gear, including sleeping bags and camping mats. If you prefer a more comfortable air mattress you would need to bring it yourself. Please note that we have a maximum of three nights camping in the wild per tour (depending on weather conditions), remaining nights are spend in Mongolian gers (our traditional white, round tents), which do have a proper bed.

Yes, no problem. You can purchase the insurance at our shop by credit card before tour start, there is no need to change the invoice you received or make any other transfers in advance.

The backpack you carry on the bike should be small and light. You only carry essentials in there like a camel bag (2l), your mobile or camera, ID, and your raincoat. All other items and clothing will be in your duffle bag, transported in our support vehicles. Although, please keep your luggage as modest as possible, as the space in the support vehicle is limited.

Yes we do have a locked room at our storage, where you can leave any luggage you don’t need while on the tour.

Normally a year in advance or more. Our season is extremely short, only from April until beginning of October and available seats are limited. If you are planning to join during prime time (June/July/August) we always recommend to be quick.

Hard shell cases are not recommended as they will most likely break during the tour. They are also too big to transport as we only have limited space in our support vehicles. Duffle bags instead are dirt, water and shock resistant, which is important while camping in the open wild as those will remain outside of your tent.

Please have a look at the recommended to-bring PDF link at the bottom of the page. It lists all the items you should have with you to be well-equipped for any of our tours.

No, Mongolian banks are unfortunately not there yet. Tour expenses would need to be done via normal bank transfer. You will receive a proper invoice from us with all details once you filled out our booking form online.

Even though all expenses are covered in your tour charge it’s always good to have some extra cash on hand. We recommend bringing anything between €100-200 or USD$ in case you want to purchase any gifts or similar during the tour.

Yes, we are a 100% Mongolian company and 99% of our staff is Mongolian. The entire value chain therefore remains in Mongolia supporting local communities, service providers, hotels, ger camps etc.

Yes, we can accommodate groups up to 20 people: 10 riders and 10 in the sidecar.
